Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.


This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations. On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Try this DNS server ...



Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS


Click + and type:


208.67.222.222


Click + again and do the same.


208.67.220.220


Click OK.



Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.
